To me, this sentence seems to be saying you believe there is no god since there is no evidence. You don't know it but you believe this based on no knowledge of proof of one. And I say when you take a stance on something without actual knowledge, it is faith. I do not use it in its religious sense but only defined as believing something without knowledge.
But somehow our definition of Belief differs.
We don't believe because that is the default position. For example, you don't know if fairies exist, do you believe in fairies? You don't know if vampires exist, do you believe in vampires? You don't know if your great great grandma is living on jupiter right now, do you believe it?
